The Dragonfly Effect - Harnessing Social Media to Build Brands

13,586 views

Published on

Named for the only insect able to move in any direction when its four wings are working in concert, The Dragonfly Effect reveals how everyday people achieve unprecedented results through harnessing the incredible power of social media.
While there are many books teaching the mechanics of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to compete in business, The Dragonfly Effect is the first to show how to tap social media and psychological insights to achieve a single, concrete goal – whether that is finding an almost impossible bone marrow match for a friend, raising millions for cancer research, or electing the current president of the United States.
Featuring dynamic, original case studies of global organizations like the Gap, Starbucks, Kiva, Nike, eBay, Facebook, as well as start-ups like Groupon and COOKPAD, The Dragonfly Effect demonstrates how to achieve both social good and customer loyalty by leveraging the power of design thinking with practical strategies.

The Dragonfly Effect proves that you don’t need money or power to inspire seismic change.

Drives are currently taking place all around the country, including throughout California, Washington, ! www.helpvinay.org/dp/index.php?q=event. ! Michigan, Illinois, New York and many other states.

Please point your friends to the local drives and ask them to get registered. If you can, sponsor a drive at ! ! your company or in your community.
